In a town where the living and undead cohabitate: Birthday girl Biggi performs a cabaret and attends a death. Hartmann, a rule-loving undead local, experiences a life-altering scheduling problem. Accountant-gone-theater-producer Harriet discovers a ghost from her past and decides to haunt them back. This revenge play features mean school girls, choral song + text in German and English.

Im Dunkeln sieht man besser (translation: You can see better in the Dark) is LOCAL GRANDMA’s third full-length production.
